This workshop will introduce the LifeGuide software, present examples of the diverse range of features and components of Internet-delivered interventions that can be created using the LifeGuide, and explain how the LifeGuide can be used to evaluate interventions.Interactive demonstrations of LifeGuide in action will be provided and will use case studies from recent LifeGuide interventions to describe the process of designing and trialling Internet-delivered interventions from the researcher’s perspective.

The workshop will:

1. Consider the nature and role of digital interventions in health psychology2. Introduce delegates to LifeGuide and demonstrate some of its capabilities. 3. Discuss and demonstrate the process of developing, deploying and evaluating interventions using LifeGuide by means of live demonstrations and case studies of several interventions developed using LifeGuide over the last few years.

This event is suitable for Health Psychologists (including students/trainees) interested in developing Internet-delivered interventions or studies. The workshop will be particularly suitable for those considering using the free, open-access LifeGuide software for their project.

This is an introductory level workshop requires no prerequisite knowledge or experience.

Learning outcomes and objectives

The workshop will provide the opportunity for attendees to

Gain insight into what LifeGuide can offer to psychologists who wish to develop and evaluate Internet-delivered interventions

Obtain an in depth understanding of what can realistically be achieved with LifeGuide and what support is available to users

Meet members of the LifeGuide team and other psychologists who are developing Internet-delivered interventions in order to share valuable tips and experiences.

Facilitators: Dr Laura Dennison MBPsS and Dr Leanne Morrison MBPsS

Laura and Leanne are post-doctoral Research Fellows in Psychology from the University of Southampton.

Leanne’s research to date has centred around the use of the Internet to deliver interventions to support health-related behaviour change and, in particular, how we can design such interventions so that they promote optimal user engagement. Laura’s work has concentrated on exploring factors and processes involved in adjustment to chronic illness and developing and evaluating interventions to assist with adjustment. Laura and Leanne are currently members of the LifeGuide team which is led by Prof Lucy Yardley in conjunction with social and computer scientists.This team has been awarded several large grants to develop and evaluate internet-delivered health interventions.
